Our new summer menu is officially here, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.
One of the highlights from Chef Paul Gagne's tasting menu is this stunning Heirloom Tomato Essence—a celebration of the season's finest ingredients. Delicately paired with cucumber and avocado, finished with black lava salt, spiced chili oil, and sweet local corn, it's a dish that is both beautifully refreshing and full of vibrant summer flavor.
This is the second course of Chef's tasting menu and perfectly captures his philosophy of allowing exceptional ingredients to shine through thoughtful, elegant preparation.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more of our favorite dishes from the new menu, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and flavors of the season.
But if you don't want to wait... we'd love to welcome you to The Fearrington House Restaurant to experience the full summer menu for yourself. We think you're going to love what Chef Gagne and his team have created.
With Spain celebrating an unforgettable World Cup victory, there's no better time to raise a glass to one of the country's most beloved wines—Paco & Lola Albariño 2025.
Hailing from the coastal region of Rías Baixas in Galicia, this vibrant white wine is everything we love about Albariño. Bright and refreshing, it opens with lively aromas of grapefruit, lime, white flowers, orange blossom, and exotic lychee. On the palate, it's crisp and citrus-driven, with beautiful freshness, vibrant fruit, and a clean, elegant finish accented by a subtle touch of bitterness.
It's the perfect wine for warm summer evenings and pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, salads, and simply enjoying good company on the porch.
At $24 a bottle, Paco & Lola continues to be one of our favorite values for summer sipping.
As Wine Director Troy Revell puts it:
"Albariño is one of my favorite warm-weather wines, and Paco & Lola consistently delivers. It's bright, refreshing, and incredibly food-friendly—the kind of bottle that's just as enjoyable with fresh seafood as it is shared with friends on a summer evening. It seems only fitting to celebrate Spain's World Cup win with one of its signature wines."
¡Salud! Stop by Galloway's Wine Shop to pick up a bottle and celebrate Spain's championship in delicious style.
